A military aircraft vanished shortly after taking off from the coastal town of Myeik
on a flight to Yangon on June 7, carrying 116 people, including 105 passengers
and 11 crew members; 15 among them were children.

It lost contact when
it was about 32 kilometres west of the town of Dawei.

Wreckage of the
military plane was found on June 8 morning.

According to a
military source, bad weather might be the cause of the accident. But, the exact
cause can only be confirmed once the aircraft’s black box is recovered.

Rescuers found more
dead bodies on June 8 during the search for the plane.
